We’re happy to see whatever your superpower is and find the best place for it to flourish. Get started now, we look forward to meeting you. We are looking for a Staff Infrastructure Architect in our Minneapolis or NYC office to own multi-cloud infrastructure architecture, Kubernetes platform strategy, and high availability across a product-led engineering organization of roughly 250 engineers. This is a staff level individual-contributor role with broad technical influence and no direct reports. You will partner closely with engineering teams/leaders to anticipate infrastructure needs, shape platform strategy, and ensure the environment is ready for growth before capacity, reliability, or integration challenges become blockers. The role is highly technical, with a focus on multi-cloud architecture, Kubernetes at scale, infrastructure-as-code, and maintaining a 99.95% uptime target. You will also play a key role in acquisition integration, architecture standards, and evaluating AI tooling that improves infrastructure and operational productivity.
Requirements
- 10+ years of infrastructure or platform engineering experience, including significant architecture ownership at scale
- Deep production experience designing and operating across at least two major cloud providers, such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Strong Kubernetes platform experience, including cluster topology, multi-cluster strategy, and platform-level architecture
- Experience designing highly available systems, including multi-region, multi-AZ, failover, and disaster recovery
- Strong infrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform or similar tools
- Demonstrated ability to anticipate infrastructure and capacity needs before they become blockers
- Experience influencing technical direction across teams without formal authority
- Direct experience with M&A technical due diligence and post-acquisition system integration
Nice To Haves
- Experience with enterprise architecture, including data, integration, or security architecture
- Experience supporting AI/ML infrastructure or AI-enabled engineering workflows
- Experience in a PE-backed or acquisition-heavy organization
- Familiarity with enterprise architecture frameworks such as TOGAF
Responsibilities
- Own multi-cloud architecture across AWS, GCP, and Azure, including workload placement, network topology, resilience, and platform design
- Design connectivity patterns such as VPC/VNet peering, transit, and hybrid networking
- Balance portability, resilience, cloud-native capabilities, and cost
- Establish cloud cost visibility and governance without slowing engineering delivery
- Own Kubernetes architecture at scale, including cluster topology, multi-cluster and multi-cloud strategy, scheduling, autoscaling, and multi-tenancy
- Define the platform primitives engineering teams build on
- Own the infrastructure-as-code foundation, using Terraform or equivalent technologies
- Design and validate multi-region, multi-AZ, failover, and disaster recovery patterns that support a 99.95% uptime target
- Lead capacity and resilience planning by modeling growth and failure scenarios before they become production issues
- Partner on incident postmortems and drive architectural remediation where needed
- Work directly with engineering teams to understand roadmap needs 2–3+ quarters ahead
- Translate upcoming product, traffic, and scaling requirements into infrastructure plans
- Ensure capacity, networking, and platform capabilities are in place before teams are blocked
- Support technical due diligence for acquisition targets, including architecture, technical debt, and integration risk
- Develop integration blueprints and migration plans with a target of onboarding acquired systems within 90 days
- Help determine which acquired systems should be replatformed, integrated, wrapped, or retired
- Establish lightweight architecture standards that improve consistency and reliability without creating unnecessary process
- Serve as a technical thought partner to Directors, senior engineers, and platform teams
- Mentor senior and Staff-level engineers on architecture and system design
- Evaluate AI tooling for infrastructure automation, code generation, and operational workflows
Benefits
- health insurance (medical, dental, vision)
- a retirement savings plan
- paid time off
- other employee benefits
